This is Titan Young with another guest post through my penguin slapping buddy, Brad.

Tim Tebow was once a high profile quarterback for the Denver Broncos, where he broke all manner of franchise records including most prayers in a single quarter. He became a household name because of his high profile Christianity and 'Tebowing' before each game. To him, taking a knee meant something entirely different.

Monopoly is one of the greatest selling board games of all time, and has been around in various form since the beginning of the 20th Century. The game revolves around the concept of greed, where the players roll dice and buy and sell properties with the aim of owning everything by the end of the game.

Hello, it's me again, the one and only Bubes. Boy I have had such a rough week and it's only Tuesday. I know I am a day early but I could not wait to show you what I have been up to. I had to stand in for Miley Cyrus at the VMA's on Sunday because she had too much to drink and passed out in her dressing room.

When I left my house to watch the premiere showing of Jobs, I was expecting to join the back of a long line of Apple fan-boys circling the movie theater like it was a Best Buy store on iPhone 6 release day. I was both surprised and pleased that this was not the case. There were some middle aged iPhowners there who were old enough to remember the release of the first Mac, regretting not investing a dollar into the company back in the 70's. "My dollar would be worth $44,000 now", I overheard one of them say.

The cross section of people lining up for the movie was not entirely what I was expecting. My preconception of the 'Jobs' audience was along the lines of a ComicCon audience. There were more women in line than I would have imagined, maybe due to the Ashton Kutcher influence. Also, people were older than I anticipated they would be. And as I mentioned already, there were considerably fewer people than I expected.

You may have seen the commercials for the new Q10, the latest smartphone from free-falling phone maker, BlackBerry. Over the last 5 years, the Apple and Android operating systems have been making extraordinary leaps, leaving the BlackBerry OS languishing way behind.

Back in September 1999 Macy Gray took the music charts by storm with her 2nd single, 'I Try', which was a top ten hit across the English speaking world. The song earned her a Grammy in 2001 and then just as suddenly as she had arrived, Macy Gray disappeared without a trace.

They are both black and white, they are both cute and they have both been adopted by Google as code words for algorithms used to filter out spam websites. The internet giant chose the animals for their soft friendly appearance and their monochromatic coloring, to reinforce the contrast between black hat and white hat SEO (search engine optimization).

Anthony Weiner has dominated the headlines over the last week or so, thanks to his inability to stop sextingwomen. He was first caught messing around way back in 2011 when we ran THIS story. Weiner has since been caught sexting again while running for the position of Mayor of New York using the pseudonym Carlos Danger.
